Rainbow Coral Polyp

About Rainbow Coral Polyp

Rainbow polyps are colony polyps showing several colours on one disc, typically rings of green, orange, pink or blue. They spread across the rock as a low mat and stay open through the day. They are undemanding and bring a lot of colour to a small space. Handle with gloves, as with any colony polyp.

Rainbow Coral Polyp care at a glance

• Lighting: Low to high – adapts to most reef lighting (80 to 200 PAR is ideal)
• Water flow: Low to moderate
• Placement: Anywhere from the sand bed to mid rockwork; give it its own rock to control spreading
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; fine foods speed up growth
• Care level: Easy – a classic beginner coral

Soft corals are forgiving, but stability still matters: aim for 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025 and nitrate that is low but not zero. Start new arrivals in a lower-light spot and let them adjust for a week or two.
